Doesn’t matter how left the left goes, the R’s will always stay just to the right of them. Pathetic. The libs have them right where they want them.
I have not seen the proposal from McConnell, but my overall impression is that instead of 2.4T in CUTS and 2.4T debt ceiling raise — he’s going to do 700B ceiling raise WITH PROPORTIONAL CUTS and then two 900B raises WITH PROPORTIONAL CUTS.
As long as 300-400B of the cuts are in FY2012, I think this is acceptable.
